I am almost home on a lease based on:
$23,294
Money factor of .00150
Residual of $14,582
36 months/12K miles
They are saying 0 down but then they quote me drive off fees of $635 which includes first months payment, title and registration.
That's where the difference seems to be.
They keep saying it's $346 but I am getting something closer to $326 per month.
Please help.

- 17,977 LE Automatic (with CF mats)
- 55 Doc Fees
- 1487.64 Tax
- 116 Lic Fees
- 64 Reg
- 8.75 CA Tire fees (?)
Total: $19708.39 out the door
Please post your numbers when you finalize the deal. Knowledge is power for all of us!
The prices are much better than quotes from the dealers' internet departments.
You just need to work hard to make dealers honor the prices you got from TrueCar and AOL Autos. (AOL Autos has lower price quote)
1) the economy isn't doing well now.
2) the trend of gas price is not going up.
3) there are more compact cars with very good MPG that are well-equipped at much lower price. The Prius MPG advantage is not that obvious as before.
4) For all the above and 2011 model year going to end soon.
For all the above, do you still feel the price quotes you got from dealers are attractive? I doubt.
This price includes:
carpet floor mats
carpet cargo mat
cargo net
rear bumper applique
ps. special color will add $200 extra.
Thanks for the post. Could you break down out-the-door price to
price paid for Prius 3
Tax
Title
License
I am in the market for either a Prius II or III in the Bay Area (San Jose), and scouting for best prices paid up here, too.
Thanks
Below are the breakdown:
Prius 3: $23,760
Tax (8.75%): $2,079
License: $155
Registration: $100
Documentation: $55
Total: $26,149
I negotiated with 4 dealerships online to get this price.
Good luck shopping!
MSRP is ~ $25K, silver color. The next day the dealer called me with "One Day Special Only" deal of $23.5K. Seeing the most recent prices paid on this forum, that seems to be a decent deal to have.
I did not jump to that deal since a) I am not in a hurry, b) I am not adequately researching the Prius yet, and c) I am sure if they can offer me that today they can do the same tomorrow and next.
This dealer has about 20 2011 Prius on the lot, so there is no inventory shortage that I can see. With the way the economy is going, and the 2012 models are coming in, I think I can do better if I can take my time on the purchase.
I am in the process of buying a 2011 Prius 3. $25,150 OTD is a good price. Would you be able to tell me which dealership and did you use a car buying program? Thanks.
Do you mind to share what region you are in? If you are getting an identical car (prius III no nav) then definitely you're getting a better deal than torr210 @26k+
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated (and I hope this is the right forum for this question)
Best,
I am shopping for a 2011 Prius III with no options in socal area. I tried getting quotes using Truecars.com and the best price so far is $23523 w/ destination but before tax and license. The MSRP is $25,280. Is this a good price? Please advise!
In norcal (San Jose/Bay Area) I visited only one dealer. The next day he called me back with a "today only" deal of 23.5K before tax, title, and license (TTL). It's silver Prius III without Navigation. I thought it is a good price since truecar.com best quote is around 23.6K.
For my case, I took my time and did not call him back until that evening. The dealer sale guy said that the boss approved it for today only, and he had to check if it's still good. He did not call me back yet.
In my opinion it is a good price, if you need the car now. Given the not-so-good economic news lately and the 2012 going to be here soon, I think more (better) deals can be had next month or so,
Good luck.
Have you checked truecar.com for your zip code? From my experience truecar.com gives the closest/lowest prices people able to get. You may have to negotiate aggressively with 3-4 different dealers to get that price.
Good luck.
Appreciate your feedback
TIA
I see that truecar.com quote is very close to what Toyota dealer in my area is willing to deal.
>>>Is it reasonable to try and negotiate Prius-II for $22000 (plus TTL).
Why not? Try with 3-4 different dealers in your area to see if they would go for it. At the very least you know where the bottom is.
If you are not in a hurry I think Toyota is not doing too well last quarter, and given the uncertainty in the stock market & economy, they will be more willing to deal, or Toyota is going to offer some incentives to move car.
Good luck.
Was this a decent price?
For Prius 3 (with Nav) I got $24,750 + (Tax, Tags and dealer processing fee of $200) and my interest rate is 2.74%
However, since you are getting 0% financing, you numbers look good even if it does not include tax and tags (I am assuming yours include freight).
As I said my $24,750 included freight, but not tax, tags and dealer processing fee of $200
Your deal looks better than mine though. All the best,
Lots of Prius on lot. I see local ads for $22000 for Prius II. , with "10 available", so it does not look like a low ball offer. May wait some time to see what Prius V look like,
See one of my previous posts on exact cost breakdown for a 2007 Camry we bought in '07. I have been using it as a guide to roughly figure out costs on top of the price the dealers have given us. In general, 10% for all other costs sounds about right.
